| I'm trying to match this line:
You take a drink from * vial.
But only if it is NOT followed by one of these lines:
The potion heals and soothes you.
Ah, the soothing bromides help strengthen your ego.
Your mind feels stronger and more alert.
I'm trying to use this trigger:
<trigger
enabled="y"
lines_to_match="2"
match="(You take a drink from (.*) vial\.\n)(?!((The potion heals and soothes you\.)|(Ah, the soothing bromides help strengthen your ego\.)|(Your mind feels stronger and more alert\.)))"
multi_line="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="2"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Matched.</send>
</trigger>
But it isn't working out. It matches "You take a drink from * vial." no matter what line comes after it. Any suggestions? | | Top |

| You need to anchor to the start of the subject. Otherwise 2 lines like this cause it to match:
The sun rises.
You take a drink from the blue vial.
That is 2 lines, and after "you take a drink" is NOT the lines you wanted, so it matches. However by anchoring to the start of the subject, you force it to consider "you take a drink" as the start of the two lines.
This worked for me:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
lines_to_match="2"
match="\A(You take a drink from (.*) vial\.\n)(?!((The potion heals and soothes you\.)|(Ah, the soothing bromides help strengthen your ego\.)|(Your mind feels stronger and more alert\.)))"
multi_line="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="2"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Matched.</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
